Port of Rotterdam sends a hyper-smart container on trip around the world and Kalmar is a proud partner on the journey!

One major change that 5G is bringing is the ability to partition the network into virtual networks, so-called slices. For example, a private network can be deployed to cover a port area and customised to meet various application needs. For example, when a terminal tractor is connected to a specific slice, its activities are easily and accurately monitored in all circumstances. That adds to the overall safety and operational efficiency of a port. https://lnkd.in/ga-6i99

In the future, 5G will fulfil port automation needs for reliability, capacity, speed and security. Kalmar has successfully conducted one of the industry's first trials with ultra-reliable, low-latency 5G technology in collaboration with Nokia.
